How do I close bridge.exe when it isn't open?

I am trying to install the cs6 update and it keeps telling me to close bridge.exe...it isn't open.   what do I do?

bridge.exe is probably still running as a background process. Use Task Manager to stop it in the Processes tab

  • How do I close down Firefox when it hasn't opened properly?

    I got asked yesterday to update to the latest edition of Firefox & now it's refusing to open up at all, yet when I go to uninstall & reinstall it, it tells me that I need to close down Firefox's window which isn't even open in the first place & then when I do manage to get it to uninstall, it still won't open even reinstalled :-(

    Hello,
    Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
    '''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
    #Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
    #After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
    #Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
    #*'''Windows:'''
    #**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    #**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    #*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
    #*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
    #Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
    ##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
    ##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
    Please report back to see if this helped you!
    Thank you.

  • How do i close CS5 Bridge.exe when Bridge is not open?

    I can't download updates because Bridge CS5 application manager says "close bridge.exe" when Bridge is not open.

    You have Bridge set to "open on startup" so it is running in the background.  To disable this feature it is in advanced preferences.
    To solve your imediate problem, open task manager (ctrl+alt+delete) and click on processes tab.  Go down the list and look for any instance of Bridge.exe and close it.

  • For s/w updates, how do I "close Bridge" when it's already closed?

    When I start the s/w "updates" process, I get a message telling me to "Please close the following applications to continue:"
    then it lists "adobe Bridge CS5 (Bridge.exe)" but I do not have Bridge open. So I hit the "continue" botton and it repeats this message.
    So how do I "close" Bridge so I can get my updates?
    Thx

    It took me a minute to figure out you were talking about the "Show hidden icons" botton, but this did it. Now I can update my all my Adobe programs. Thx

  • How do I close a JInternalFrame when using subclasses and a separate cla...

    The heading should be: How do I close a JInternalFrame when using subclasses and a separate class for the actionListener?
    I have just created a JInternalFrame appclication and now I want to structure up my code. I have a Superclass that contains the usual settings for the two JInternalFrame:s, and the two subclasses with frame specific information. Both the JInternalFrames use the same OK button. I want to have the actionListener outside the classes to avoid repetition of code. But the dispose()-function does not work properly, it does not close the opened JInternalFrame. What�s wrong?
    class Superclass extends JFrame
         JButton b= new JButton("ok");    
         Superclass()
    class Subclass1 extends Superclass
         Subclass1 ()
              add(ok);
           ok.addActionListener(new Listener());
    class Subclass2 extends Superclass
         Subclass2 ()
              add(ok);
           ok.addActionListener(new Listener());
    class Listener extends Superclass implements ActionListener
         public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
                   dispose();
    }How do I controll in the Listener class that the button in Subclass1 is beeing pressed?

    First of all I think I misunderstood your question. You said you had two internal frames, so I thought you wanted to close the internal frame.
    It now looks to me like you want to close the entire JFrame, which makes the code even a little easier. Something like:
    JComponent component = (JComponent)event.getSource();
    JFrame frame = (JFrame)SwingUtilities.windowForComponent( component );
    frame.dispose();
    Ok, I will make a try:
    public static Container getAncestorOfClass(Class c, Component comp)
    w.getAncestorOfClass(w, this); Fiirst you need to learn the basics of reading the API.
    "getAncestorOfClass()" is a static method. That means you don't use a variable to invoke the method. You use the class itself.
    "w" is a variable, which is a JFrame, but that is not what the first parameter should be. The first parameter is a "Class".
    "this" will refer to your Listener class, but you need the Component that generated the ActionEvent.
    When I thought you wanted to close an internal frame then the code would have been something like:
    JComponent component = (JComponent)event.getSource();
    Container container = SwingUtilities.getAncesterOfClass( JInternalFrame.class, component );
    JInternalFrame internalFrame = (JInternalFrame)container;
    internalFrame.invokeSomeMethodHere();If you need further help then you need to create a "Short, Self Contained, Compilable and Executable, Example Program (SSCCE)", that demonstrates the incorrect behaviour.

    I really do not understand what you mean. You can pause the Podcast and then go to another app. you can also go to the other app and then double click the Home button. Then touch and hold the podcast app/Music app and tap the circled minus sign to stop the podcast. You can also just double click the Home button and go to the music controls and tap pause.

    How do u close the apps when done with them to save power with iOS 7

    To close out apps, simply double click the home button and instead of holding down the app icons and clicking on the X mark in older versions, you have to swipe the app window up and away.
    Also you can save on battery by turning of background app refresh from settings .... See this article for details , http://nyacomputing.com/how-to-close-out-background-apps-in-ios-7-and-save-on-ba ttery/

    Not all the apps are open. When you double tap the home button that just shows you apps that you have recently used. They are not all open and running.
    If you want to clear this list, swipe up on the app screenshot.

  • I close firefox and when I try to open it later, a pop-up says it is still running and I have to restart my pc?

    I close firefox and when I try to open it later, a pop-up says it is still running and I have to restart my pc? tried closing Firefox down but Task manager says it is NOT running even though the window that pops up says it is still running??

    When you go to task manager, go to the "processes" tab, right click on "firefox.exe," and select "end process tree." In the picture I've attached, I'm using windows 8, so the UI is a little different, but I hope it points you in the right direction.
